title: How Do I Create a Blank Program?
description: Creating a blank program in Volt allows coaches to build a fully customized workout plan. Start by selecting “Create Program” in the Programs index, then choose “Start with a Blank Program.” Set details like duration (1-52 weeks) and create the program, which begins with Off Weeks. Use the Training Editor to add block schemes, training days, and more. Note that once created, the program's start date cannot be changed, but it can be duplicated for other athletes or groups.

# How Do I Create a Blank Program?

### Purpose of Creating a Blank Program

This feature gives coaches the creativity and flexibility to create a fully custom workout program from scratch, instead of starting with a Volt template program. With the Blank Program feature, coaches are able to create a program anywhere from 1 week to 52 weeks long — you get to decide! You are also able to insert and delete weeks from a blank program after it has been created.
